Does a pristine, unreconstructed SrTiO(001) surface exist?
Igor Sokolović, Giada Franceschi, Zhichang Wang +6
The surfaces of perovskite oxides affect their functional properties, and while a bulk-truncated (11) termination is generally assumed, its existence and stability is contr…
Defect chemistry of Eu dopants in NaI scintillators studied by atomically resolved force microscopy
Manuel Ulreich, Lynn A. Boatner, Igor Sokolovic +6
Activator impurities and their distribution in the host lattice play a key role in scintillation phenomena. Here a combination of cross-sectional noncontact atomic force microscopy…
Incipient ferroelectricity: A route towards bulk-terminated SrTiO3
Igor Sokolovic, Michael Schmid, Ulrike Diebold +1
Perovskite oxides attract increasing attention due to their broad potential in many applications. Understanding their surfaces is challenging, though, because the ternary compositi…
Interplay between adsorbates and polarons: CO on rutile TiO(110)
Michele Reticcioli, Igor Sokolović, Michael Schmid +3
Polaron formation plays a major role in determining the structural, electrical and chemical properties of ionic crystals. Using a combination of first principles calculations and s…
